Cards (5)

  • What are vector quantities?
    Quantities with both size and direction e.g. velocity, displacement, acceleration
  • What are scalar quantities?
    Quantities with only size e.g. speed, distance, time
  • What is a contact force?
    When objects are touching and exert a force
  • What is a non contact force?
    When objects do not need to touch to exert a force
  • What is the relationship between weight and mass?
    Directly proportional
    Weight = Mass * Gravitational Field Strength
